Overview

TableSat links a guest-facing menu and booking page with the floor tools staff use during service. Teams can organize tables by section, set seat counts, seat walk-ins, manage a waitlist and track turns and sellable gaps across the night. This makes it a focused choice for coordinating front-of-house work, not a broad restaurant system.

Guests can provide allergies, access needs and seating preferences with a reservation, giving staff useful context before arrival. Approved private-event bookings sync to a connected Google Calendar and update as bookings change. Event prices are informational: TableSat does not accept card details, take deposits or process event payments, so restaurants need another way to collect charges.

Key features

Bookings, floor and menus

The combination of a public booking page, waitlist tools and turn tracking supports restaurants that need to manage seating flow alongside reservations. The menu builder supports multiple languages and allergen tags, with public indexable pages and QR codes that can point guests to menus, bookings or a link hub. These are practical tools for presenting menu information and directing guests without maintaining separate guest-facing pages.

Groups and access

Multiple locations can be managed from one account, with separate floors and team-member roles. However, the multi-location dashboard is marked as a coming feature on Growth, so groups should not assume that dashboard is already part of the current workflow.

The admin is a responsive website for phones and tablets, rather than a native app. The maker suggests adding the site to an iOS or Android home screen; that may suit teams comfortable using a browser, but it is a meaningful distinction for anyone who specifically wants an installed app.

Privacy and support

TableSat publishes a privacy policy, terms, cookie notice and data processing agreement, and provides privacy@tablesat.com for personal-data access, correction or deletion requests. Free includes email support, and the small team that builds the software also answers customer messages.

Pricing

TableSat has a free plan and paid plans billed per location per month. Free costs 0.00 USD per free and provides a public profile menu page, a guest-facing restaurant page with links and email support. It does not include online bookings, making it useful as a basic public presence rather than a reservation tool.

Starter costs 49.00 USD per month, billed $49 / location · month. It includes one location, reservations and walk-ins, a floor plan and table assignment, a public booking page and team access. For a single-location restaurant ready to take online bookings and coordinate floor service, this is the entry plan that supplies the core operational tools.

Growth costs 99.00 USD per month, billed $99 / location · month, and includes everything in Starter. Advanced reporting, automated guest messaging/CRM and the multi-location dashboard are marked as coming features, so the higher price should not be justified on the assumption that those capabilities are already available. The listed location limit is one location, which also makes the current plan fit less clear for a group despite the multi-location account capability.

A free trial is available. The paid plans are priced per location, and the stated Starter plan covers one location. Restaurants should also account for the fact that private-event prices cannot be collected through TableSat itself.

Platforms

TableSat supports Android, iOS and web. Its admin is a responsive website rather than a native mobile app, so phone and tablet access is available through the site.

Who it's for

TableSat is a stronger fit for independent restaurants that want reservations, waitlist and floor coordination, multilingual menus and a direct guest-facing booking route under a flat monthly price. It is less suitable for restaurants that need online bookings at no cost, native mobile apps, built-in private-event payment collection or currently available advanced reporting and guest CRM.

Pros and cons

Pros: A public booking page, walk-in handling, waitlist and turn tracking bring core seating workflows together for restaurants.
Pros: Multilingual menus, allergen tags, indexable pages and QR codes support guest access to menu and booking links.
Pros: Reservations can capture access needs and preferences, and approved private-event bookings stay synced with Google Calendar.
Cons: Free has no online bookings, so restaurants need Starter at 49.00 USD per month to use the central reservation workflow.
Cons: TableSat does not process private-event payments, deposits or card details.
Cons: The admin is a website, not a native app, and several Growth capabilities are still marked as coming features.

Alternatives

Restaurant Table Management Software is a useful starting point for comparing tools in this category.

Choose Eat App if its free plan's 100 monthly guests suit your booking volume, or if its Lite plan's unlimited guests and 200 WhatsApp messages better match your needs. Like TableSat, it has Android, iOS and web support and a free plan; its Lite plan costs 99.00 USD per month, with a yearly option at $69/mo.

GetReserve is worth comparing if a free online booking page, reservation book and single floor-plan space are the priority. Its free plan also includes guest profiles and visit history, and it is web-based.

Consider SpotOn Restaurant if you want a package spanning POS software and hardware, ordering, payments, table layouts, menu management and reporting. Its All-In Plan has processing minimums and a two-year minimum term; it has no free plan.

HungerRush may suit restaurants looking for a broader platform, with a qualification-based Starter plan from $0 / Month for one location and one POS terminal, or custom pricing for other needs.

Resos is another freemium option to compare; its Basic plan is 4523.00 EUR per month and includes 350 bookings per month, with paid add-ons available free for 30 days before separate billing.

Odoo Point of Sale may be a better fit if you want to start with one app and unlimited users through Odoo Online, or need a broader all-apps platform.

Wix Restaurants Table Reservations is free to install, but online bookings require an upgraded site plan.

POSUMI is another option to compare for its paid team-seat and kitchen-display add-ons.

Verdict

TableSat is a sensible fit for an independent restaurant that wants direct online reservations, floor coordination and guest-facing menus without per-cover fees. Its main advantage is bringing those workflows together at a defined per-location monthly price. Look elsewhere if free online booking, native mobile apps, event payment processing or already-available advanced reporting and CRM are essential.
